Anaphylactic Fits

Puck was boxing bulbs, when his friend and business partner Gordon walked in, having just arrived back from the World. 

Gordon's family - the Fabaceae (also known as the Leguminosae) were broadly associated with beans, but Gordon's branch were more along the peanut line, which for this Puck liked to call him Goober. (Puck had on occasion called him Monkey Nuts which also was a name for Peanuts, after which Gordon had settled for Goober.)

Puck could see that he appeared a little agitated, which was unusual for Goober who was ordinarily high-spirited at all times. He stood taller than Puck and leant over him a bit when they talked together. His appearance was that of a lanky thin man, in his twenties, dressing country casual. Today his eyes watered and he was coughing and sneezing profusely ... he looked awful.

"Passed out again yesterday - snap! just like that" he sniffed.

This was not unusual, for the elemental population were becoming symptomatic with the sicknesses associated with their family plant, as found the human world. If there were allergies in people, then they would suffer them too. Goober was continuously dropping out with anaphylactic fits that took him without warning. Fortunately it took only a splash of water to revive him.
